PHILADELPHIA: 


PEEFAGE. 

FOR  years  past  teachers  have  been  demanding  a  spelling- 
book  suitable  for  children. 

This  little  work  has  been  prepared  by  one  who,  in  com- 
mon with  his  fellow-teachers,  has  pitied  children  compelled 
to  memorize  long  lists  of  words,  many  of  which  they  rarely 
use  in  after  life,  and  to  which  they  can  seldom  attach  any 
meaning. 

We  claim  for  this  book  a  plan  simple  and  methodical. 
Lessons  are  first  given  which  illustrate  the  vowel  sounds. 
Then,  beginning  at  home,  a  list  of  words  is  given  suggestive 
of  a  detailed  description  of  well-known  objects.  From 
home  and  its  surroundings  the  child  is  led  by  easy  steps  to 
other  familiar  places  of  interest. 

As  his  range  of  vision  is  extended  his  vocabulary  increases, 
and  thus  his  language  is  built  up.  He  needs  to  know  how 
to  spell  these  words,  and  he  should  be  taught  to  weave  them 
into  sentences  as  well  as  to  spell  them,  for  the  words  are  not 
his  until  he  can  so  use  them. 

Much  care  has  been  taken  in  the  preparation  of  the  illus- 
trations that  accompany  these  lessons.  The  ingenious  teacher 
will  find  them  a  great  help  in  conducting  the  spelling  exer- 
cise. In  all  cases  the  picture  should  form  an  introduction  to 
the  lesson.  The  children  should  find  the  objects,  name  them, 
describe  their  qualities  and  spell  the  words  thus  used. 

Believing  that  this  book  will  accomplish  a  good  work  in 
the  hands  of  judicious  teachers,  we  submit  it  to  them,  and 
ask  that  it  be  tried  in  the  crucible  of  the  school-KOom.

SUGGESTIONS  TO  .TEAOHEES. 


NEVER  allow  your  children  to  pass  over  a  word  whose  mean- 
ing they  de  not  understand.  Be  thorough. 

Lead  the  children  to  put  the  words  into  sentences  as  they  are 
spelled — not  careless  sentences,  but  such  as  mean  something. 
This  will  be  a  great  help  to  them  in  acquiring  the  rapid  use  of 
language.  Study  the  wants  of  your  pupils,  and  adapt  the  exer- 
cise to  their  advancement. 

HOW  TO  CONDUCT  SPELLING  CLASSES. 

The  children  come  into  the  class  with  their  spelling-books  open 
at  the  lesson.  The  teacher  calls  upon  one  of  the  children  to  find 
something  in  the  picture.  The  child  finds,  perhaps,  the.  picture 
of  a  man,  and  the  question  is  then  asked,  "  How  many  see  the 
picture  of  a  man  ?"  All  see  it.  The  teacher  then  calls  upon  an- 
other child  to  point  out  some  other  object,  and  continues  as  be- 
fore till  the  lesson  is  finished.  Proceed  in  a  similar  method  to 
obtain  the  actions  or  qualities  of  the  objects  represented. 

It  would  be  a  good  plan  to  have  the  more  simple  objects 
sketched  upon  the  board.  Encourage  the  children  to  do  this. 
Educate  the  hand.  They  can  very  easily  represent  such  common 
objects  as  a  hat,  broom,  box,  book,  man,  etc.  Let  them  sketch 
as  much  as  possible,  and  have  the  words  printed  on  the  board 
after  the  children  have  used  them. 

After  the  picture  has  been  examined  and  the  names  of  the  ob- 
jects have  been  discussed,  a  few  minutes'  study  will  be  sufficient 
to  fix  £he  spelling  in  the  minds  of  the  children. 

To  review  the  lesson,  the  children  bring  their  slates  into  the 
class.  The  teacher  pronounces  the  words,  and  the  children  print 
or  write  them  on  their  slates.  At  the  close  of  this  part  of  the 
exercise  the  children  are  directed  to  exchange  slates.  They  are 
now  ready  to  spell  from  the  slates.  A  child  rises,  and  spells 
the  first  word  just  as  it  is  written  on  the  slate  he  holds.  The 

3 


SUGGESTIONS  TO   TEACHERS. 


children  decide  as  to  its  correctness.  If  correct,  it  is  not  marked 
or  checked ;  if  incorrect,  it  is  marked.  The  others  check  the 
words  on  their  slates  if  incorrect,  sum  up  misspelled  words  and 
report  to  the  teacher  at  roll-call. 

Again,  after  the  allotted  time  for  preparation  the  children  as- 
semble in  the  class-room.  The  class  is  divided  into  groups  of 
three.  The  first  three  rise.  Number  one  spells  the  word,  num- 
ber two  sketches  the  object  named  by  it  on  the  board  if  able  to 
do  so  (if  not,  gives  a  sentence  containing  the  word),  whilst  num- 
ber three  prints  the  word  on  the  board.  As  the  first  three  finish 
the  second' three  rise,  proceed  in  a  similar  manner,  and  so  on  for 
the  whole  class. 

Noiseless  Review. — After  studying,  the  children  pass  to  the  board 
in  order,  and  each  prints  any  word  remembered  until  the  lesson 
is  all  on  the  board ;  then  each  child  rises  in  order,  giving  a  sen- 
tence for  the  word  he  placed  on  the  board. 

To  review  the  lesson  in  another  manner,  allow  the  children  to 
choose  sides  and  pronounce  from  memory  the  words  studied  or 
spell  them  as  the  teacher  dictates. 

Another  method  of  conducting  an  exercise  in  spelling  is  as  fol- 
lows :  The  teacher  holds  up  an  object  or  has  a  picture  of  it  placed 
on  the  board,  asks  for  the  name  of  the  object,  has  one  or  more  of 
the  pupils  write  or  print  its  name  on  the  board,  asks  for  the  sound 
of  each  letter,  then  for  the  name  of  each  letter,  and  lastly  asks 
for  the  name  of  the  object. 

On  the  next  page  will  be  found  an  object  lesson  on  one  of  the 
illustrations,  to  show  the  plan  of  drawing  out  the  ideas  of  the 
children  by  means  of  the  pictures.

By   RUFUS   W.  BAILEY. 

For  the  vast  majority  of  our  pnpils  who  can  never  hope  to  attain  a  classical  educa- 
tion, this  work  is  INVALUABLE,  giving  as  it  does  a  clear  idea  of  the  derivations, 
meaning  and  use  of  words.  For  PRACTICAL  TEACHING  it  is  unsurpassed.

A.  New  Edition  of  this  Work,  with  over  Two  Hundred  and  Fifty  Engravings. 

What  is  said  of  it  by  experienced  teacfiers : 

"I  regard  Tenney's  Geology  as  a  MODEL  school  -book ;" — "Does  not  frighten  the  be- 
ginner with  voluminous  details;" — "Presents  the  leading  facts  of  the  science  in-  a 
clear  and  natural  manner,  an£  contains  all  that  is  required  in  an  ordinary  course  of  in- 
struction."
